Ná Israel hene Saul abu n’ani agu Onyankopɔn afutuo a ɔnam odiyifoɔ Samuel so de maa no no so, sɛ ɔnsan mfiri ne kwan a ɛsɛe adeɛ no ho. Ná Saul abɔ mmɔden mpɛn pii sɛ obekum Dawid, n’akoa nokwafoɔ no. Na odi fɔ nso sɛ ɔma wokunkum Nob asɔfoɔ, na na wafa abayifoɔ bi afutuo. Ná Saul apira wɔ ɔko a ɔne Filistifo dii mu, na sɛ wɔkyere no a, na ehu ka no. Wɔ n’abasamtuo mu no, “Saul faa nkrantɛ, na ɔhwee so” (1 Mber. 10:4).
Hyɛ sɛdeɛ twerɛsɛm de Saul wu ho twerɛtohɔ a ɛyɛ awerɛhoɔ yi ba awiei no nso:

Ɛda adi sɛ wɔ Saul wu mu no, adeɛ baako pɛ a yehu sɛ Onyankopɔn reyɛ ne sɛ ɔbɛma Saul akɔ n’ankasa kwan so na wahu deɛ ebefiri ne nneyɛeɛ no mu aba.

Dɛn Ne Onyankopɔn Abufuo?
Onyankopɔn abufuo ho asɛmmisa no ma yɛn mu pii adwene tu fra berɛ a yɛkenkan Apam Dada no. Wɔka Onyankopɔn abufuo ne n’abufuo ho asɛm pii, nanso dɛn ne n’abufuw? Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ na yɛanya saa asɛmmisa yi ho mmuaeɛ no, ɛbɛyɛ deɛ ɛbɛma yɛanya nimdeɛ sɛ yɛbɛhwɛ nhwɛsoɔ ahoroɔ bi a ɛwɔ twerɛsɛm mu. Deɛ edi kan a wɔkaa Onyankopɔn abufuo ho asɛm ne bere a ɔmaa Mose adwuma sɛ onni Israelfoɔ anim mfiri Misraim nkoasom mu nkɔ ahofadie mu no. Tebea ahoroɔ bɛn na ɛhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn ma ɔdaa n’abufuo adi saa berɛ no?
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ AWURADE sɛ: Mesrɛ wo, AWURADE! Me deɛ, ɛde bɛsi nnɛ anaa ɛfiri berɛ a wo ne w’akoa kasaeɛ yi, m’ano nte; me kasa yɛ nyaa, na me tɛkyerɛma yɛ duru. Na AWURADE ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Hwan na ɔyɛɛ onipa ano? Anaasɛ hwan na ɔyɛ emum anaa ɔsotifoɔ, ɔdehunufoɔ anaa onifirani? ɛnyɛ me AWURADE ara? Na afei kɔ, na me ara mɛdi w’ano akyi na makyerɛ wo deɛ ka. Na Mose kaa sɛ: Mesrɛ wo, AWURADE! Soma obi foforɔ biara a wopɛ.(Exodus 4:10-13).
Ná Mose suro sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Farao nkutoo anim na ɔsrɛɛ ɔkasamafoɔ. Onyankopɔn yɛɛ ho biribi dɛn?
Ɛnna AWURADE bo fuu Mose, na ɔse: Adɛn mennim sɛ Aaron wo nua Lewini no, nim kasa? Na hwɛ, wafiri adi rebɛhyia wo, na sɛ ɔhu wo a, n’akoma bɛtɔ ne yam.(Exodus 4:14)
Ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn daa n’abufuo adi? Ɛdenam deɛ na Mose pɛ a ɔde maa no no so. Momma yɛnhwɛ twerɛsɛm mu nsɛm foforɔ bi a ɛka Onyankopɔn abufuo ho asɛm:
Na afrafrafoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no kɔn dɔɔ adeɛ, na Israelfoɔ no nso sane suu bio sɛ: Hwan na ɔbɛma yɛn nam adie? Na Mose tee sɛ ɔman no resu, wɔn mmusua mu, wɔn ntomadan ano ano; na AWURADE bo huruu no sɛ, na ɛyɛɛ Mose nso ahomete. Na mframa firi AWURADE nkyɛn bɔe, na ɛkɔpraa mmoko firi ɛpo no ho bɛguu nsraban no so, ɛbɛyɛ da koro kwan wɔ ɔfa ha ne da koro kwan wɔ ɔfa ha, nsraban no ho, wɔn sorokorɔ ne asase ani bɛyɛ basafa baako. Na ɔman no sɔree da mu no nyinaa ne anadwo no nyinaa ne adekyeeɛ nyinaa, na wɔkɔboaboaa mmoko no ano; deɛ ɔnyaa deɛ ɛsua koraa no mpo boaa homer du ano, na wɔhatahatae ara de twaa nsraban no ho hyiae fae.(Numeri 11:4,10,31-32).
Wɔ asɛm a esii yi mu no, yehu bio sɛ wɔaka Onyankopɔn abufuo ho asɛm. Dɛn na ɔyɛeɛ? Ɔmaa nkurɔfoɔ no deɛ wɔpɛ.
Na ɛberɛ a Samuel bɔɔ akora no, ɔde ne mma sisii Israel so sɛ Atemmufoɔ. Na n’abakan din de Yoel, na deɛ ɔka ho no de Abiya; wɔyɛɛ atemmufoɔ wɔ Beer-seba. Nanso ne mma amfa n’akwan so, na wɔmane kɔdii mfasoɔ akyi, na wɔgyegyee adanmudeɛ, na wɔbubuu ntɛnkyea. Ɛnna Israel mpanimfoɔ nyinaa hyia baa Samuel nkyɛn wɔ Rama bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Hwɛ, woabɔ akora, na wo mma mfa w’akwan so. Afei si ɔhene ma yɛn na ɔnni yɛn so te sɛ amanaman nyinaa. Na asɛm no ansɔ Samuel ani sɛ wɔkaa sɛ: Ma yɛn ɔhene na ɔnni yɛn so no. Na Samuel bɔɔ AWURADE mpaeɛ. Na AWURADE ka kyerɛɛ Samuelsɛ: Tie deɛ ɔman no seɛ ne deɛ wɔka kyerɛ woɔ no nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ ɛnyɛ wo na wɔapo woɔ, na me na wɔapo me, sɛ mennni wɔn so hene.(1 Samuel 8:1-7).
Onyankopɔn nam ne diyifoɔ Samuel so de nkra kɔmaa nkurɔfoɔ no de nneɛma pii a enti ɛrenyɛ wɔn yiedie sɛ ɔbɛma wɔn adesrɛ a ɛne sɛ wɔmma wɔn ɔhene no bɛma. So wotiee Samuel asɛm no?
Na ɔman no ampene sɛ wɔtie Samuel, na wɔkaa sɛ: Dabi, na ɔhene ara na ɔnni yɛn soɔ, na yɛn nso yɛnyɛ sɛ amanaman nyinaa, na yɛn hene no mmu yɛn atɛn, na ɔmfiri adi nni yɛn anim nni ako mma yɛn.(1 Samuel 8:19-20)
Ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn yɛɛ n’adeɛ wɔ nkurɔfoɔ no nhyɛsoɔ no ho? “Na AWURADE ka kyerɛɛ Samuel sɛ: Tie wɔn nne, na yɛ wɔn ɔhene” (nky. 22). Yɛyɛ dɛn hu sɛ Onyankopɔn de abufuo maa wɔn ɔhene? Odiyifoɔ Hosea, a ɔhwɛ abakɔsɛm mu asɛm yi so no, ma yenya Onyankopɔn adwene wɔ dwuma a odii wɔ nkurɔfoɔ no abisade a ɔde maa wɔn no ho:
Meyɛ wo boafoɔ deɛ, Nanso wɔrebɛsɛe wo, O Israel! ɛhefa na afei wo hene no wɔ, Na ɔnnye wo wo nkuro nyinaa mu, ne w’atemmufoɔ a wokaa sɛ: Ma me ɔhene ne mmapɔmma no? Memaa wo ɔhene m’abufuo mu, Na meyii no hɔ m’anibereɛ mu.(Hosea 13:9-11, w’asi so dua)
Twerɛsɛm mu twerɛtohɔ mmiensa yi kyerɛ pefee sɛ na Onyankopɔn abufuo no ne deɛ ɔde maa Israelfoɔ nkurɔfoɔ no deɛ wɔpɛ berɛ a na ɛnyɛ wɔn yiedie sɛ ɔbɛyɛ saa no yɛ ade koro. Ɛsɛ sɛ yei dɔɔso, anyɛ yie koraa no, de kyerɛ sɛ wobetumi akyerɛkyerɛ Onyankopɔn abufuo mu, afiri twerɛsɛm mu, sɛ biribi a ɛsono koraa wɔ nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ nsɛm asekyerɛ nwoma no mu no ho. Nanso, pii wɔ hɔ a ɛsen yei. Dɛn na esii berɛ a Yesu bo fuwii no?
Na ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu bio. Na onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ne nsa awuo, na wɔtɛɛ no sɛ ɔbɛsa no yadeɛ homeda anaa, na wɔakɔtoto n’ano. Na ɔsee onipa a ne nsa awuo no sɛ: Sɔre gyina ha. Na ɔsee wɔn sɛ: ɛwɔ ho kwan sɛ wɔyɛ papa anaa bɔne homeda? Sɛ wɔgye obi nkwa anaasɛ wɔkum no? Na wɔyɛɛ komm. Na ɔde abufuo hwɛɛ wɔn hyiae, na wɔn akomaden nti ɛyɛɛ no ya, na ɔsee onipa no sɛ: Tene wo nsa. Na ɔteneeɛ; na ne nsa no sane yɛɛ yie. Na Farisifoɔ no firii adie no, ntɛm ara wɔne Herodefoɔ kɔtuu ne ho agyina sɛdeɛ wɔbɛkum no.(Marko 3:1-6).
Yei yɛ nhyiam a Yesu ne Farisifoɔ no hyiae. Ná wɔn mmara kwan so anohyetoɔ ahoroɔ no bara ayaresa Homeda. Yesu kenkan wɔn koma no, “de abufuo hwɛɛ wɔn ho hyiae.” Abufuo bɛn na na Yesu nyae? Ɔkwan a wɔka ho asɛm sɛ “wɔn koma a ɛyɛ den no ho awerɛhoɔ.” Ná Yesu redi awerɛhoɔ anaa awerɛhoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔdɔ ne tema a nyamesom akannifoɔ a wonni mmɔborohunu yi daa no adi mma ɔbarima a ne nsa awuo no ho. Dɛn bio na yebetumi ahu wɔ twerɛsɛm mu afa Onyankopɔn abufuo ne n’abufuo ho?
Na wɔyi Nyankopɔn abufuo adi firi soro gu nnipa a wɔde adeɛ a ɛntene si nokorɛ kwan no mmusubɔ ne adeɛ a ɛntene nyinaa so.(Romanfoɔ 1:18, w’asi so dua).
Ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn abufuo da adi?
Enti Onyankopɔn nso gyaa wɔn maa efi, wɔn akoma akɔnnɔ mu, sɛ wɔmmobɔ wɔn nipadua adapaa wɔn mu;(Romanfoɔ 1:24, w’asi so dua).
Yei nti Onyankopɔn gyaa wɔn maa aniwuo akɔnnɔ. Na wɔn mmaa de honam fam ayɔnkofa yɛbea a ɛyɛ ne kwan soɔ no sesaa deɛ ɛmfa ne kwan soɔ;(Romanfoɔ 1:26, yɛasi so dua).
Na sɛdeɛ wɔammu sɛ wɔbɛkura Onyankopɔn wɔn nimdeɛ mu nti, Onyankopɔn yii wɔn maa adwene a ɛmfra, sɛ wɔnyɛ deɛ ɛmfata,(Romanfoɔ 1:28, yɛasi so dua).
Wɔkyerɛkyerɛ Onyankopɔn abufuo mu wɔ ha sɛ Onyankopɔn gyae wɔn anaa ɔde wɔn ma —wɔ ɔkwan foforɔ so no, Onyankopɔn rema nkurɔfoɔ no ahofadie ma wɔate wɔn ho afiri ne ho. Ɛnyɛ ɔsɛeɛ a ɛde aweredie ba no abufuo no ankasa na yɛtaa de to Onyankopɔn twerɛtohɔ no so. Momma yɛnhwɛ Apam Dada no mu nsɛm foforɔ bi.
Na ɛnam no da so wɔ wɔn se mu a wɔnnya nwesaeɛ no, AWURADE bo huru tiaa ɔman no, na AWURADE de ɔhaw kɛseɛ pa bobɔɔ ɔman no.(Numeri 11:33).
Yɛsan kɔ kwadu a Onyankopɔn de abufuo de maa nkurɔfoɔ no ho twerɛtohɔ no so wɔ ha. Na adebɔ mu adeɛ bi a efiri nkurɔfoɔ no adidie mu bae wɔ hɔ: ‘AWURADE de ɔhaw kɛseɛ paa bɔɔ ɔman no.’
Ɛfata sɛ yɛhyɛ no nso sɛ kwadu nam a wɔayɛ no foforɔ tɔn pii renkyɛ wɔ anhweatam so baabi a na Israelfoɔ no aso nsra no. Ná nam no bɛsɛe ntɛm ara ma ayɛ deɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ nnipa di. Sɛ yesusu saa nokwasɛm yi ho a, ɔyaredɔm bɛn na ɛda adi sɛ ɛbɛba? Sɛ yɛde mmoawa nketenkete a ɛfata ne tebea horoɔ a ɛfata ma a, aduan mu awuduru yɛ amanehunu a edi awu: “Na ɔtoo beae no din Kibrothhattaava [akɔnnɔ adamoa]: efisɛ ɛhɔ na wosiee nnipa a wɔn akɔnnɔ no” (nky. 34). Dɛn ne “AWURADE abufuo”? So ɛnyɛ deɛ nteaseɛ wom sɛ Onyankopɔn abufuo ne deɛ ɔde ne ho annye asɛm bi a ɛde ba ne deɛ efiri mu ba mu no akyi?
Na me bo bɛfu wɔn da no, na magya wɔn, na mayi m’ani ahunta wɔn, na wɔamene wɔn, na bɔne pii ne ahohiahia ahodoɔ bɛto wɔn ama wɔaka no da no sɛ: ɛnyɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn a ɔnni yɛn mu nti na bɔne yi abɛto yɛn yi anaa? Na me deɛ, bɔne a wɔayɛ no nyinaa sɛ wɔamane akɔ anyame foforɔ nkyɛn nti, da no hunta na mede m’anim bɛhunta.(Deuteronomy 31:17-18).
Sɛ Onyankopɔn de n’anim sie a, dɛn na ɛkyerɛ? “So bɔne yi mma yɛn so, efisɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn nni yɛn mu?” Yei bio yɛ kasa a ɛkyerɛkyerɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔmfa ne ho nnye mu no mu. Dɛn nti na Onyankopɔn kae sɛ ɔde n’anim besie? “Esiane bɔne a wɔbɛyɛ no nyinaa nti, wɔadan akɔ anyame foforɔ nkyɛn.” Na dɛn na ebefiri mu aba? “Wɔbɛmene wɔn, na bɔne ne ahokyere bebree bɛto wɔn.” Berɛ a nkurɔfoɔ no dan kɔɔ anyame foforɔ nkyɛn no, wɔtwee wɔn ho firii nokware Nyankopɔn no ho, na wantumi ammɔ wɔn ho ban amfiri deɛ ebefiri mu aba a wontumi nkwati no ho.
Na Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ deɛ ɛyɛ AWURADE ani so bɔne, na wɔsom Baalim. Na wɔgyaa AWURADE hɔ, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim asase soɔ no, na wɔkɔdii anyame foforɔ a wɔfiri aman a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no mu no anyame akyi, na wɔsɔree wɔn, na wɔyii AWURADE abufuo. Na wɔgyaa AWURADE hɔ kɔsom Baal ne Astarot. Na AWURADE bo fuu Israel, na ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ afomfafoɔ nsa na wɔfom wɔn fae, na ɔtɔn wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no nsa, na wɔantumi annyina wɔn atamfoɔ anim bio.(Atemmufoɔ 2:11-14).
Saa nkyekyem yi kyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no awaeɛ a ɛkɔ so firi Awurade ho no mu. Ɛha no, Onyankopɔn ‘de wɔn hyɛɛ afowfoɔ nsa’ na “ɔtɔn wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn atamfoɔ nsam.” Yei san yɛ ɔhaw no ho mmuaeɛ a wɔmfa nyɛ hwee. Esiane wɔn awaeɛ nti, Onyankopɔn antumi ansi Israel atamfoɔ kwan sɛ wɔbɛto ahyɛ wɔn nsase so.
AWURADE bɛbɔ Israel sɛdeɛ demmire woso nsuo mu, na watutu Israel afiri asase pa a ɔde maa wɔn agyanom yi so, na wabɔ wɔn apete akɔ asuogya, ɛsiane sɛ wɔayɛ wɔn Asera nnua de ahuru AWURADE bo. Na Yeroboam bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ na ɔde maa Israel yɛɛ bɔne no nti, ɔbɛgyae Israel mu ama.(1 Ahemfo 14:15-16).
Ɛha na Onyankopɔn abufuw (ne ɔhwe) ne sɛ ɔregyae Israel awaefo no. Wɔde wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea huruu ne bo, na wɔde wɔn ahoni maa no twee ninkunu. Onyankopɔntee, na ne bo fui, na Israel ho yɛɛ no nwunu koraa. Na ɔgyaa Silo tenabea no, ntomadan a ɔsii nnipa mu no. Ɔde n’ahoɔden hyɛɛ nnommumfa mu, na ɔde n’animuonyam hyɛɛ ɔtamfoɔ nsa. Ɔgyaa ne man maa nkrantɛ, na ne bo fuu n’agyapadeɛ.(Nnwom 78:58-62).
Ɛha no, nea ɛka abufuw ho nkyerɛase no ho ne: agyaw a wogyae, wɔde wɔn ho ma wɔ nnommumfa mu, na wɔde wɔn ho ma. Ɛnna AWURADE abufuo dɛre tiaa ne man, na ɔkyirii n’agyapadeɛ. Na ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ amanaman nsa, na wɔn a wɔkyiri wɔn dii wɔn so.(Nnwom 106:40-41).
Wɔka Onyankopɔn abufuo ho asɛm wɔ ha sɛ ɔde “wɔn hyɛɛ abosonsomfoɔ nsa.”
Abufuo mmorosoɔ mu na mede m’ani mehuntaa wo kakraa bi, nanso mede daa adɔeɛ bɛhu wo mmɔbɔ, wo Gyefoɔ AWURADE na ɔseɛ.(Yesaia 54:8).
Wɔ saa nkyekyem yi mu no, wɔkyerɛ “abufuo kakra” ase sɛ Onyankopɔn de n’anim sie “berɛ tiaa bi,” nanso Onyankopɔn ayamye ne ne mmɔborohunu a ɔwɔ ma yɛn no wɔ hɔ daa.
Na matoto mo afiri m’anim agu, sɛdeɛ metoo mo nuanom nyinaa, Efraim asefoɔ nyinaa, guiɛ no. Me na wɔyi me abufuo? AWURADE asɛm nie, ɛnyɛ wɔn ho na wɔyɛ no sakasaka?

Onyankopɔn bisa sɛ, “Wɔhyɛ me abufuo anaa? … so wɔnnhyɛ wɔn ho abufuo mma wɔn ankasa anim ayɛ basaa?” Wɔde nkurɔfoɔ no haw bae sɛ deɛ efirii wɔn abosonsom mu bae na ɛnyɛ sɛ asotweɛ a efiri Onyankopɔn hɔ.

Ɛnna AWURADE somaa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ baa ɔman no mu bɛkekaa ɔman no, na Israel mu nnipa pii wuwui.(Numeri 21:5-6).
